BLAiNE'S SONS.
How One OF Them Obtained n Fee
From His Father.

Three sons of James G.. Blaine were
subjected to considerable scrutiny dur
ing their fathers recent visit to New
York, says The Tribune. They are all
ine-looking young men. The second
son, Emmons. has been growing stou
and round in face His features dono
so closely resemble his fathers rs is
the case with Walter and James c.
Blaine. Jr. These both have then

idly gaining reputation rs railroad
man in the northwest, where he has been
engaged in the transportation business
for several years. His talent i'm thi,
line OF business has already placed him
in a way TO lay the foundation of bust
ness prosperity and fortune. Walker
Blaine has been in Chicago long enough
to secure a fair and growing law prac-
tice, while the youngest son is doing
well here in a brokers Office
In conversation the Blaine boys said
that their father did not always succeed
in avoiding people who attempted TO take
up his time when he required it for
business. Said one of them: II have
known father TO get into conversation
with persons whom he had never mel
before. and allow them to talk to him
for an hour while he let pressing en-
gagemcnts 90 unmet. He has no ca
pacity for saying to such people that
he must be excused, 1t is partly be-
cause he is tender about offending PEG
pie, less on account of himself than on
account of their possible sensitiveness.
just before Mr. Blaine left Ma ne he
sold pair of horses. for which he re-
ceived three 500 bills. He said laugh
ingly 10 Mrs. Blaine that this $500
would 20 for incidental expenses and
pin money during their trip, and there
upon stuffed the bills away in his
pocket The last day of his stay in
New York he remembered having put
away his money, but could not find it,
He hunted everywhere without success,
and finally became so annoyed because
OF its disappearance that he said he
would give 500 TO find out where il
was. Walker Blaine thcreupon began
a search and succeeded in finding the
bills in the pocket were Mr.. Blaine had
thrust them. Like good lawyer he
demanded his fee and got it.

WHAT BANK CHECKS SAY.

checks that look like three-sheet post
ers. On the country checks nearly al
ways there is picture in one corner
OF the building occupied by the man
whose name is signed at the bottom,
sonnet mes the print of his daughter or
his wife adorns the paper, and then his
own countenance adOrns the margin.
Then he has his name printed in big
black letters over half the check and
his address over most of the rest, and
in the middle in little letters there is
the name of the bank in which he has
his money. The banks supply check
books to their customers. but IA great
many people have their own printed.
Sometimes the boys, when they are
not doing anything else, amuse them
selves by drawing pictures on the
checks, and the bald-headed President
of the Oshkosh Incubator Company,
who has put a reproduction OF his
classic features where it will attract
attention, finds to his surprise, when
the check is returned, that he has a
beautiful head OF auburn hair. and that
his lonely but unique single chin

you can put it down as pretty sure
thing that when a firm is in the coun-

plenty of wind in the city, it will spread
itself on checks, but if it is a solid
house of good standing and heavy
backing, the chances are that its shecks

In Vanity Fair.

Through Vanity Fair, in days Of old,
There passed maiden with locks of gold,
And peddler opened his tempting pack,
Crying: 80, my pretty lass what dye lack
Here's many wear
Costly aud rare,
Come, buy-oh, come, buyl
Iu Vanity Fair"
'Silks and satins are not for me;
Lace is for damses Of high degree;
The lads would laugh in our country town
II came clad in broidered gown;
But yet there's a ware,
Precious aud rare,
fain would buy me
In Vanity Fair.
SPRAY, sell me, sir, from your motley store,
A heart that will love me forevermore
That, whether the world would praise or blame
Through sorrow or JOY will be still the same.
IT'S the only ware
For which care
Mid all the treasures
Ia Vanity Fair"
"Much II grieyes me, 0, lassie, DEAR
The seddler said; "but greatly fear
The hearts that loved in the old sweet way
Have been out Of fashion this many day.
Aud gi.ded care
is all the wear
You will get for your money

Some Chinese Philosophy.

There Is one highest ultimate prin-
cple-the Tae-keih, or grand extreme.
This is absolutely immaterial, and the
basis of the order OF the universe.
From this ultimate prime pie, operating
from all eternity, come all animate and
inanimate nature. 1t operates in
twofold way. by expansion and con
traction, or by cease,ess active and pas
sive pulsatons. The active expansive
pulsat on is called yang, the passive in
tensve pulsation is yin, and the two
may be called the positive and negative
essences of all things. When the active
expansive phase OF the process has
reached its extreme limit, the operation
becomes passive and intensive; and
from these vibrations originate all ma
terial and moral existences. Creation
is therefore perpetual process matter
and spirit are opposite results of the
same force. The one tends to variety,
the other to unity; and variety in unity
is permanent and universal law of
being. Man results from the utmost
development of this pulsatory action
and passion; and man nature. as the
higher result, is perfectly good con-
sisting of five elements, namely:
charity, Righteousness, propriety.
wisdom and sincerity. These consti-
tute the inmost, essential nature of
man; but a man comes in contact with
the outward world evil arises by the
conflict. When man follows the die
ates of his nature his actions are good
and harmony results. When he is un-
duly influenced by the outward world
his actions are evil, and discord inter
venes. The holy man is one who has
an instructive, inward sight of the ul-
innate principle n its twofold Opera
ton Cor what we should call the sight
of God, the beatific vision and who
therefore spontaneously and easily
obeys his nature. Hence, all his
thoughts are perfectly wise, his actions
perfectly good, and his words perfectly
true. Confucius was the last of these
holy men, The infallble authority OF
the sacred books results from the fact
that their writer's, being holy men. had
instructive perception of the working
of the ultimate principle.
All Confucian philosophy is pervaded
by these principles Flrst-That ex-
ample is omnipotent Secondly-That
to secure the safety of the emp re you
must secure the happiness of the people.
Thirdly-That by solitary, persist
ent thought one may penetrate at
least to knowledge of the essence OF
things. Fourthly-That the object OF
all government is to make the people
virtuous and contented. -L0uiSCilLe

How to Make it a Jubilee.

Queen Victoria is good hearted old
lady, but she has gone about the cele-
bration of the jubilee year of her reign
in the wrong way, says The atlanta Con-
Stitutioa.
Everywhere in her kingdom there is
almost unprecedented distress. In
ireland the exactions of the landlords
keep the poor in a starving condition.
In Wales the Methodists have been
drawn into a revolt against the English
1.-THE proctors. The poor of London are
eady for revolution or anarchy, or
anything.
But her gracious majesty does not
allow her mind to dwell upon
these matters. With her enormous
private fortune and her influence she
could make the present year jubilee
occasion for her suffering subjects in
stead of succession of holidays for
own glor fication.
Has some such thought occurred to
her? She has announced that she will
bestow ten thousand beautiful mugs
upon the poor children of London. This
is something, but there WI not be
enough mugs TO 60 around. She has
sent a telegram of sympathy to the
W dows and orphans who lost their hus-
bands and fathers in the great coliiery
explosion in Scotland, but when people
have nothing to eat a message of SYM
pathy is very thin Diet.
Doubtless no organized movement,
even though headed by the queen,
could abolish misery and poverty. but
it would improve the condition of the
masses. touch their hearts. and revive
their waning loyalty. As it is. the spec
tacular splendors of the jubilee will
embitter those who have nothing to
rejoice over and the gulf between the
masses and the classes will yawn wider
than before. In some respects the stu
alton is similar TO the state of things
in France before the revolution. On
the one hand there is the same wretched-
ness. squalor and savage hatred. and
on the other the same selfish indiffer-
ence and oppression. 1t is no time
for the upper classes to indulge in an
eXtravagant revel. 1t is time for the
exercise of charity. Cancellation and

An Annual FoolishneSS.

1t is surprising that the Yale college
authorities do not take in hand this
matter of the annual so-called class
statistics. They do no little mis-.
chief whether il is intended or not
Take for example the figures of the
average cost of the college course.
They roll up large figure, and peo-
pie who have not the facts in their pos
session naturally accept the result If
the contradictory remark may be
made, we will say that even if they
were right, they would lie wrong, but,
being wrong themselves, they can not
be right. If they did give the average
amount of money really spent, they
would have no significance. One rich
BOBBY, the laughing-stock of his class
and the financial stay of various poor
fellows who coached him, might spend
enough to raise the whole class average
well above true cost. Several spend
thrifts could give an appearance of
luxury TO the average expenses of all,
# the actual figures were given. But,
TO begin with, the data are mcager,
and not actual. often the mere guesses
of the boys and oftener yet a mere
statement of how much their fathers
have spent on them during the year
What a basis that is for calculating the
real cost of going through college!
\ better test would be TO find tho
expenses of, say, the highest ten MEM
bers of the class. That would Indicate
someth nc, for probably they would
know what they did with their money
and consequently what the course did
cost them.
This generalizing from haphazard
statistics for the sake of reaching mis-
guiding results is more than nonsense
it is an injury to the college and
should be stopped. and it is an injury
to the general cause of CHER educa-
ton. Hartford Courank
